Wow Jeff, that is some good work. I neglected to comment on your thread when you joined up here, but I was encouraged by your willingness to tackle a couple or few things at once. I am so glad to see you're still committed to it and are quite successfull, it appears. Coming from a history of being around alcohol abuse (not implying you abused it, I hope you understand), I was particularly delighted you chose to forego the use of it as well.

I know in my heart you feel great about your accomplishment, and I encourage you to let us know if you ever have a struggle with any part of the things you are working on. We're here for you.

I still amazes me how far reaching a simple dietary change is. Simple in that the foods are all there and fairly readily available for us, you can do it with minimal preparation if you choose, no negative health consqences to speak of when compared to SAD foods, simply delicious. The not simple part is just saying NO to the old habits. You've done more than well with that.

Thanks so much for all your replys. It means a lot to me.
I'm so glad I took photos right before I started eating raw. If I hadn't, I wouldn't had noticed the change my body is going through as much.
My wife is tripping out how my belly and face have gone down so much in just three weeks. She's just about ready to start doing raw now after seeing my results.


Y'all really mean a lot to me.
Thanks for everything!

Congratulations! I hope your wife joins you, she will love it!
My husband and I are almost 2 months raw now.
He has lost 25 pounds!!! He has now lost his 'spare tire' that would not go way.
Neither of us were over weight, so I hope he stops loosing.
I have only lost about 5 pounds but went down a clothes size and look leaner.
The best part is how we feel---lots of energy and healthy!
It is fun to go raw as a team.

[freshlight]

[islesgirl]

Hi Jeff,
Just now saw your pics. What a difference a couple of weeks of eating raw has made for you! I that you are looking happy now, definitely slimmer. But I also notice you are "standing taller":D

[Beth]

[Aleesha Sattva]

[rawffle]

Wowwwwww! The physical changes are astounding but what is more amazing is that I can see how much better you FEEL. Amazing pics! Way to go!

[thatgirlfit85]

You look so much younger! Fab!

[RawKnitster]

You've got the "raw glow". Your looking great. A testament to the power of pure food. Thanks for sharing. :)

[Jeffrey]

Thanks for all of your wonderful comments.
I'm feeling better and better everyday. When I started raw at the end of November, I was wanting to loose weight, now, after a month or so of loosing weight, which is great! I'm more into the other health benefits eating raw has. My mind is so much healthier. And that is what is so important to me now. I sleep and think so much better. I have tons of energy. My eyes are clearer. No more stomach aches. My attitude is extremely better. Everything in my life is just so much better eating raw. I've had a spiritual awakening.

I'm still struggling with tobacco. I hope and pray to be off that junk very soon. Just think how even better I will feel when I kick the cigarettes.

Ive lost 17lbs in 35 days. CRAZY! And, I eat a lot. This is still without exercising. I'm getting geared up to start some cardio very very soon.

Thanks y'all,
Jeff

[ViolinCyndee]

WOW.. 17 pounds in 35 days w/o exercising?! AMAZING!

I AM exercising (3x a week with a personal trainer) and doing the 30 day challenge.. Hope I can match your results! YOU ROCK!

[freelee]

[Raw Creator]

Jeff, you're looking faboo! Surely, you're also feeling a great difference in your energy. Great news that your wife is also interested in raw foods. Together you'll have much encouragement and support.

Thanks for sharing your progress, and keep up the good work.
